A ' Virtual' Shopping Spree.....Come With Me

I was in a real funk after work yesterday.

 I was tired and blue and I needed a distraction like shopping.....

ahhhhh ...the bliss that shopping can bring....

Right?

So... let's go.

I decided to go to Horchow to see what was new.

I haven't been there in ages.

I found a few things that I absolutely LOVE..

This is one of them.

Horchow is now serving up 'antiques' of a sort.

This chest knocked me out.

The grey and gold finish is a stunner!

Here is a close up. Great right?

And then I saw this sofa and thought....cuddly, cozy, and stylish

I have always loved this table. It is 28 x 50, which is a hard to find size.

And it is inexpensive too.

I thought these where divine. The whole set is under $300.
The tallest is 24".

These tables are 24 high and 24 wide.

They are lacquered with nail heads.

I think they are sharp.

How about this collection of mirrors?

I decided to pop a few of the light fixtures

 that I would buy and use.

Talk about Faux Bois......
this is a nice example made into a lamp.

I thought this was wild.
How about you????

This is like a gold washed mercury glass.
I think it is beautiful.

The lotus lamp.

I like this one too.

Close up of the Lotus Lamp.

This one is sharp.

I love the base.

I went flea-shopping with Claudia Strasser from The Paris Apartment 

and she was looking for mirrors like this one.

"Here ya' go Claudia."

And finally I saw this patio set and was drawn to it.
I can just see it with kids sitting on the stump seats  in wet suits
eating hamburgers right off the grill.

Whew.....I feel better!!
My blues are gone.
Nothing like a dose of 'Virtual Shopping' 
to cure what's wrong with me.


What does a dose of virtual shopping do for you?


Go To Horchow - and snoop around

This Place Was A Real Find!

While snooping around the Miami Herald Newspaper

I found an article that mentioned a shop in Chicago called Jayson Home & Garden.

These fixtures are part of the lighting collection.

So, I popped over.....

and found many treasures 

of which this little box was just one of many.

I found some amazing accessories, 

furniture, textiles, and fabulous flea market finds.

I have selected a few things that I would buy.

One is this scale....they make the greatest centerpieces.

Fill with fruit, flowers, or whatever else you might like to display.

Done.

It looks great.

*Opera Hats

I LOVE hats...

so these were a 'no brainer.'

Then I found this little porcelain item as well......

huh?

did I miss a whole new design trend???

Siamese Twins?

Do you remember these twins??

Those Who Matter Don't Mind

"Be who you are 
and say what you feel,
because those who mind don't matter
and those who matter don't mind."

Dr Suess

I am dealing with some scary financial things right now.
The stress of it all is wearing on me and sometimes I do and say stupid things.
I'm glad that I know I will be forgiven by those who matter. XX's


What do you think about this saying??

Another Lovely Sunday

Things are getting crazy where I work.....
there are definitely less customers to sell to.
And it is summer.
Summer in Florida is generally not such a great time for business down here.

*Another Lovely Sunday

It is hard to imagine that while some families went to church or made family brunch for their loved ones today...
others were sharpening their fangs.

Let me share a bit of today with you.
I work with some real old time salesmen.

Some are not so old....

just fat and loud, and PUSHY.

Some just plain old certifiable.

Really.

And let's not leave out the woman.

There are some treacherous woman.

I am not kidding.

I just try and dodge the bullets.

And I made it another day.

I can't leave out the super creepy LIARS that will tell a customer anything to make a sale.

It Is Just GROSS!!!

What am I doing here anyway???

oh...I forgot we were in a depression.

Now, I say there is no reason to go nuts over a sale.

Really....but they do.

And today we had some ugly floor fights...

Honest to G-d, it is no wonder my neck and right shoulder are killing me.

I am grateful for my job, but will I ever adjust to this working environment?

Did you have a fun day today?

I hope so. xxx

.....mine was post worthy right? 
I just have to laugh, I just have to laugh, I just have to laugh, I just have to laugh.........

this is not what i am really meant to be doing...
or maybe it's just where I am supposed to be for today.
